Jason's Thoughts

Jason POV

"tap tap tap..." my foot tapped the floor. I was waiting outside the damn house of that bitch. I really hate this place...it brings back bad memories...and I'm afraid it may make new ones... The only thing I can say is thank the gods that I only had to suffer through all that for a month. Thinking about how long Thalia had to suffer in this house.... I'm ashamed that I hated her for staying here before.

I'm Jason Grace, Son of the deceased Zues Grace and brother of Thalia Grace. I know, it's kind of obvious we're related, but I'm saying this for the sake of the not so bright people.

I came here -this house- when I was only twelve. At that time, I was distraught. Zues, my father, had just died of an unknown disease. It was so sudden and instantaneous; I took me two days to recover from my shock, and only then did I start to cry for him.

I was informed shortly after his funeral that I would be sent to my sister and mother, which at that time was only a faint memory before I came to this house. We - my father and I – had left them when I was only three years old, hence all the memories that I had of them were extremely unclear and dim. The memories were only my mother's smiling face and the warmth of my sister's hug.

The first of the memories was the one that had made me feel resentful and bitter. Some was directed at my father for leaving, some was directed at my mother for letting him leave, but most of it was directed at my sister. Because of that memory, the memory of my mother's smiling face, I had felt jealousy towards Thalia and resented her, as I had thought that she had gotten the 'more kind and caring' parent while I got the 'cold and uncaring' parent. Now, I know it was the opposite. I had gotten the better one, not her. Till this day, I still feel guilty for resenting her..

Let me describe my father, and you may know why I thought that Thalia got the better parent. He was an extremely muscular man, though if one had never seen him NOT wearing a suit before, he or she would never have known, or even guessed. If you're wondering why I know that he was muscular, the only reason was because he wore casual clothes at home.

If you're curious about why he always wore a suit in public, it was because he was an extremely successful businessman and had to attend many meetings, and therefore, he needed to wear a suit all the time. The company he ran was called Zues manufacturing electric appliances cooperation. The company, though, not only manufactured new appliances, but also sold them. It was too good and popular to be sold in some normal appliance store. The outlets it had were many, over a hundred across the world.

My father was a very good technician, and considered to be the best to many other technicians across the world. Everything he created with his own hands were always the best object of its kind, but he never gave it away and only used it for himself. He never told me the reason, but I think I know why. I mean, only HE could build something like that, and he couldn't exactly make thousands of those on his own, and if he were to show his creations to the public, they would want more, and then what? Hence he did not show his works to the public

One example was a phone that he made for himself. Let me tell you - It was, and still is, the best phone I have ever seen! I bet that it can surpass ipad 2, all types of iphones and even some of the latest laptops and computers created! It was so advanced, the functions I saw in it can match up to the latest macbooks, and it was only a phone! That just showed how professional he was at making this kind of things. Well... now it sits unused in his out-of-bounds office.

Now, back to describing him and not the oh-so-awesome phone that resides in his office at the temporarily closed down company. Well, about the company...the authorities had read his will. When I heard it, I was, to say the least, shell-shocked. Who wouldn't be when the person you believed thought you as a failure of a son had just given you his entire company!
